There is a similar jurisdictional minimum in California. It delineates between "limited jurisdiction" claims and "unlimited jurisdiction" claims. The distinction is that even limited claims are entitled to a trial by jury but, are allowed certain expedited and cost saving trial procedures such as allowing medical opinions to come in by way of written declaration as opposed to live testimony. Perhaps Louisiana could benefit from examining this process and/or similar procedures in other states.
